I have OS X 10.3.9. However:

On my machine, this causes the error you're seeing when thePlaybutton is clicked. Move BOTH Chase the Bots AND Dominator out of your Custom Mansions folder and it should work. (Decorum has a copy of the mansions inside its application bundle, and will move them into your Custom Mansions folder when you pressPlay. If they're already there, you get an error.)
Hum, yes, both Chase The Bots and Dominator are still in the Custom Mansion folder :-[ I will try to move them away and tell you what happened.

As for the rest...well...yeah, you do have to learn how to set it up, and I recognize that this isn't ideal. The whole thing is geared towards mansion developers packaging their mansions inside Decorum and distributing them that way, so the process is not as user-friendly as it would be if I expectednormalusers to do it. The program itself is dead simple to use, but there's that barrier to entry of learning to set it up.
Ah, but fiddling with something which is *just a little bit* harder than what you are familiar with is a good way to learn: once I manage to set up Decorum following step-by-step instructions, it will be easier to understand retrospectively the underlying principles of how the installation works.
Moreover, there is the reward of playing that custom mansion afterwards, too! A little bit like cooking an elaborate dish for the first time.
Still, I'll make a safety copy of the MM folder, just in case.... :
